This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information
theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics …

Quantum technology relies on the utilization of resources, like quantum coherence and
entanglement, which allow quantum information and computation processing. This …

We discuss a simple quantum thermal machine for the generation of steady-state
entanglement between two interacting qubits. The machine is autonomous in the sense that …

We investigate the thermodynamic constraints on the pivotal task of entanglement
generation using out-of-equilibrium states through a model-independent framework with …

We study, in the paradigm of open quantum systems, the entanglement dynamics of two
uniformly accelerated atoms with the same acceleration perpendicular to the separation …

We study the Casimir-Lifshitz force and the radiative heat transfer in a system consisting of
three bodies held at three independent temperatures and immersed in a thermal …

We propose a scheme for a quantum thermal machine made by atoms interacting with a
single nonequilibrium electromagnetic field. The field is produced by a simple configuration …

Finding strategies to preserve quantum resources in open systems is nowadays a main
requirement for reliable quantum-enhanced technologies. We address this issue by …

We present a scheme for dissipatively generating maximal entanglement in a heralded
manner. Our setup requires incoherent interactions with two thermal baths at different …

We investigate spontaneous and pumped entanglement of two-level systems in the vicinity
of a photonic topological insulator interface, which supports a nonreciprocal (unidirectional) …
